bucks to go to the kings way. not your grandmother, my mom. >> jimmy: that's your mom and you with kitty. >> now listen, i went backstage to see eddie cantor, because my mother said to me that eddie cantor really liked her. they were kids together on the lower east side. he said he really liked me but i liked your father more. so i kind of avoided him. but he loved me. so i went backstage. he was doing a big night of stars. and i said mr. cantor, i'm mel brooks, i write "the show of shows" and he loved the show. i said you grew up with my mother and she told me you actually liked her a lot and you were kind of after her. he said your mother? who's your mother. i said kitty kaminski. he said no.

i didn't know -- i'm sorry, i didn't know kitty. i said gee, she's never been known to lie, not my mother. this is very sad. so i walked out, i was very depressed. i said my mother told me eddie cantor loved her. so i walked toward the door. as i got to the door i said wait. her name was katie brooklyn. he said i loved her! >> jimmy: we're going to take a break. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover, and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i've been with bp for 24 years.

put the cigar in his mouth and he paused. i said uh-oh. maybe he's thinking of a new movie. maybe he's thinking of a ground breaking. something we'll remember for ever and ever. who knows. this guy is a genius. and he's sitting there thinking. not liking it. and he says george, do it again. what is he talking about? what does he mean do it again? five minutes later, six shrimp cocktails, big -- >> jimmy: we'll be right back with science bob. [ sally ] my antidepressant worked hard to help with my depression.

but sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. so i was honest with my doctor. i told her i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. she said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add abilify (aripiprazole). she said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i wish i'd talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it

and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. [ sally ] since adding abilify, i feel better. abilify and my antidepressant make a pretty good team.

if you turn that blue knob here, that's going to power up our natural gas. >> these never work at my house. >> it's almost an invisible flame. then i've got a flammable liquid, but they have different salt metals in them. so this one has sodium in them. basically table salt which gives you a yellowish flame. you try it. same for sort of the middle of the flame and give it a spray. if we put lithium in here. we would get an orange red flame. >> jimmy: wow, that is good. >> we have some strontium and copper. >> robbie: i was hoping you would bring strontium.
